Struct nix::dir::Dir[][src]

pub struct Dir(_);
Expand description

An open directory.

This is a lower-level interface than std::fs::ReadDir. Notable differences:

  • can be opened from a file descriptor (as returned by openat, perhaps before knowing if the path represents a file or directory).
  • implements AsRawFd, so it can be passed to fstat, openat, etc. The file descriptor continues to be owned by the Dir, so callers must not keep a RawFd after the Dir is dropped.
  • can be iterated through multiple times without closing and reopening the file descriptor. Each iteration rewinds when finished.
  • returns entries for . (current directory) and .. (parent directory).
  • returns entries’ names as a CStr (no allocation or conversion beyond whatever libc does).
